Rowe Cultural Council
Rowe is one of the smallest towns in the state, so we try to use our funding to stretch the resources of our town institutions, like our library, school, senior organization, historical society, community-wide events.. If you are applying to us for funding, it’s a good idea to connect with one of these organizations before you apply to sponsor your event and help with publicity, etc.
We tend to fund projects that we think can benefit young people, seniors and others in our town, as well as regional cultural organizations and events that help make western Franklin County a special place to live. We are interested in bringing new talents to our town as well as returning talent.
